Description

The new Beta docs has been a great upgrade. It would be nice if we add a roadmap for react. When a new user starts reading the articles for the first time he/she will see almost 30+ links (links in the content alone) in the first page that takes them to different parts of our site or other external site.

But could we do it more in a visual way?
Like the https://roadmap.sh/react but more interactive?

Why show the flow of articles in a visual way?
The user can easily track their progress and will know what they can expect as they read. Also it would be very useful for them to move one after another and find topics they came for without having to toggle the navigations or search.

https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org/issues/22

What I'm trying to say is we can actually make a "choose your own adventure" model (reference 1, reference 2) represented in a graph (Like interactive roadmap) that connects the articles in the site so that they can choose their own adventure. since we are currently adding more visualisations to the site it would be a nice to have feature.

What are your views on this?

Can we add one? or Would it be a overkill?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Beta docs' first page and the referenced roadmap.sh/react and linked examples to understand the proposed visual, interactive navigation. The issue does not name files or tests; completion would first require agreeing on the roadmap scope, article connections, and interaction design before implementation.
